What are the new features of the Gesipa Rivnut Tool?
The company has earned a global reputation for the impeccable alignment of blind rivets, blind rivet nuts and Rivstuds, which is possible because of the quality of its complete range. And these new additions are no exception. Most of our customers will know that setting rivet nuts can be tricky –undersetting of rivet nuts will cause the rivet nut to spin or pull out while oversetting will damage the tool and the rivet nut. But the Firebird Pro has a solution. The new tool features an LED display digital pressure control, which provides accurate pulling force and easy adjustment to install M3-M12 rivet nuts. This feature takes the ‘guesswork’ out of installing, avoiding wasted time and providing the perfect finish.
What's the LED display digital pressure control for?
The tool comes with an easy-to-understand setting guide for the LED display digital pressure control. You simply choose the rivet nut size and material you are installing in the chart provided, for example, M5 steel rivet nuts, locate the required setting number (for example, 60) and choose it on the panel. It’s important to note that this quick-setting guide is only a starting point. Fine-tuning the setting force may be required depending on the rivet nut manufacturer, profile, material, and grip range. Decrease or increase the setting force to obtain the perfect installation.

Other features of the new cordless nutsert tools
The latest tools offer the following new features:
- Increased stroke to 10mm
- Increased setting speed - Compared with the previous Firebird model, the setting speed is doubled.
- Increased pulling force to 15KN (the FireBird Pro edition) and 20KN (the FireBird Pro Gold edition).
- The FireBird Pro Gold Rivet Tool edition can Install rivet nuts up to M12 in steel. This is a substantive jump, as most battery rivet nut guns only install rivet nuts up to M10.

- The Mandrel storage case means that everything can be well organised, neatly packed and stored away to avoid losing parts.
